"i've been reading these for years. there have always been a few that took me by surprise, but lately i find this whole collection to be a really astonishing experiment in language - it's taken me years to see how modern she is (for you dickinson fans, i'm sure you're saying, well, DUH!). i say this because her work really is a kind of minimalism. she seems to to have more patience than most poets. she waits until the perfect formation of sounds and meanings emerge in just the right crystalline formation, and then she stops. and if you are also patient, you begin to see how perfectly each one is shaped, conceived, delivered. i also applaud her for never using titles...the poems are all numbered."
"Emily Dickinson articulates my own thoughts and feelings in a way I never could. She manifests my ideal. She validates my existence. If you like Emily, I like you.
I hide myself within my flower, That wearing on your breast, You, unsuspecting, wear me too- And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower, That, fading from your vase, You, unsuspecting, feel for me Almost a loneliness."
"This book was a birthday present -- a few birthdays ago now -- from Ryan Hickerson. It's one of the best birthday presents I've ever received. It will probably be under "currently-reading" forever because it's the kind of book I pick through and thumb through and browse through, sometimes systematically, sometimes not, and the poems are always new each time. That's partially because I have a terrible memory, and partially because I age and they change for me, and partially because the writing is just so good.
There's one, not necessarily my favorite, but perhaps a favorite, that makes me think of childhood and my little boys:
Before the ice is in the pools-- Before the skaters go, Or any cheek at nightfall Is tarnished by the snow--
Before the fields have finished, Before the Christmas tree, Wonder upon wonder Will arrive to me!
What we touch the hems of On a summer's day -- What is only walking Just a bridge away--
That which sings so -- speaks so -- When there's no one here-- Will the frock I wept in Answer me to wear?"
